side, with the possible exception OF
the Toronto Mdl, which in an editorial
to-day says: "Mr. O'Brieu had no right
in the frat place TO come here to attack
the Governor General. Because OF Lord
lLansdowne being an Irish landlord and
trouble having arisen in consequence, he
cannot be allowed to throw tho whole
responsibility upon the citizens OF
Toronto and Kingston. At least an
equal measure OF il attaches
